Hour Long San Diego Harbor Cruise and Sea Lion Adventure

Guests will catch glimpses of over 50 San Diego landmarks as the 1-hour cruise travels 13 miles in San Diego Bay. Get ready for a fun-filled Southern California maritime adventure that offers phenomenal sights. The professionally-narrated cruise allows guests to watch and learn about a plethora of marine animals living in their natural habitat. Get wonderfully close the the bay's barking residents, the sea lions who live near Point Loma.

The brief yet remarkable cruise departs from San Diego Navy Float. Your savvy tour guide will greet you before beginning your educational and invigorating cruise. A photographer will take your photo as you board, which will be available for purchase. The San Diego Bay cruise covers some major landmarks such as Seaport Village, Shelter Island, and ship-building and dry-docking facilities. Make sure to keep an eye out for Coronado Island, Point Loma, and Cabrillo National Monument. You have the option of sitting indoors within a comfortable and controlled climate, or on the outer deck to get a closer look at the historic sites. Satisfy your thirst and hunger with refreshments from a snack bar, equipped with a full bar. Grab your drink and continue to listen to your tour guide, who will provide facts about San Diego Bay's ecosystem. Learn about the environmental efforts to protect the marine life, particularly the California Sea Lions who call the bait barges near Point Loma their home. The cruise ship rides close enough for guests to hear pups and adults playfully barking. The California Sea Lions are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

Become informed about the habitat reformation for marine life in San Diego Bay while gaining knowledge about the Big Bay's historic landmarks. Spend an hour seeing the waterfront of gorgeous San Diego and encounter some of its most playful residents, the sea lions.
